Did you know we’re 60% water? Yup, our body is made up of mostly water which is why it is important to replenish with water regularly. Simply drinking water is extremely beneficial to our health. Being properly hydrated decreases brain fog, promotes healthy looking skin, increases energy and allows organs like the kidneys to function well. Plain water is also necessary for smooth digestion as our gut will pull water into it or force water out based on what it needs to empty properly.

With water comes electrolytes which are found in food and fortified into drinks. Electrolytes are vital nutrients with a positive or negative charge that need to be available for good nerve function. And we know a thing or two about nerves. These nutrients include calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and more.

Not all beverages are created equal, some act as diuretics leading to a hydration imbalance. Energy drinks, coffee, some teas, soda, and alcohol are counterproductive. So what’s left? Plain water, sparkling water, fruit infused water. This isn’t to say you can’t drink those drinks, just have more water than coffee.

It is important to hydrate because we lose water through daily living. Even breathing. Also digestion, sweating, evaporation off the skin, urination and defecation. Ideal intake is half your body weight in ounces per day (150lbs/2=75oz or 3 24oz water bottles). It’s easy and necessary!
